This is Me. Your 57yr old local farmer turning soil every day by hand with a broadfork, since April 1st.

Yes primarily a fruit farm, but also grow veggies, herbs & flowers. As a no till farm, we protect soil microbes by building living soil. Our youth farm stand opens June 15th🌱🪱

Yesterday we had a wonderful sit down interview with Marsha Hart, writer & journalist for WestSound Magazine here at the Farm. My dear friend Mary Lou Hansen came to tell about her family experience immigrating from Norway & homesteading our farm in 1912. Story will be featured in the June issue! 🌻
